Die Laaitjie Main House, Robertson

Named for the childrens tag game, Die Laaitjie is so called as it nestles in the smallest and last of the Dassieshoek valleys in the Langeberg Mountains. Despite being so completely remote, the farm is only 7 kilometers from the centre of Robertson.

A long, scenic gravel road leads to Die Laaitjie, a 330 Ha working farm that produces fruit and wine in the hand-crafted methode ancienne manner. The farm is situated alone in a bowl made by the surrounding mountains. 25 Ha of the farm consists of peach, pear and apricot trees, all of which fill the valley with colourful blossoms during the spring months.

The main house is a mid-Victorian farmhouse which has been stylishly renovated. It has four double bedrooms, all en-suite, each with access to a terrace. There is a large kitchen, two sitting rooms, a television room with a large TV and DVD player, i-Pod docking station, CD player, dining room and a covered dining terrace with a built in barbecue area.

The kitchen has all modern machinery fitted and there are two fireplaces inside the house. There is a swimming pool which is an extension of a terrace adjoining the living room. The garden has many mature oak trees and is surrounded by a curved dam. The walled kitchen garden is next to the house and guests are welcome to pick their own vegetables.

Unfortunately children under 16 are not allowed in this house, due to the large bodies of water that are immediately adjacent to the house and garden.

The mountains are criss-crossed with hiking, walking and horse-riding trails suitable for all levels of expertise. Enjoy a gentle stroll to the river before breakfast, or spend a whole day exploring the ravines. Horse-trailing can be arranged in conjunction with a neighbouring farm specialising in horses.
